you know you're a band nerd when you hide a friend in your tuba case and try to scare your band director haha. someone in my band said that we should hide someone in the timpani and have them pop out during the christmas concert and in response to the "wearing your band uniforms on halloween", my friends and I seriously thought about wearing our band raincoats on halloween

When you can have a full-on conversation with five other people, all of whom have reeds in their mouths, and understand each other perfectly.
When your friends deliberatley slow down when walking, because they know it drives you crazy because you always try to stay in-step.

When you can play half the instruments in the marching band.
When most of the people in marching band can/have played on your instrument just for fun.

Yes, I often trade instruments with people....often spontaneously, too.
No, you are truly a band nerd when you have been "raped" by a saxophone. You're better off not asking.
No, you are truly a band nerd when the saxophone is raping you in retaliation to you raping it.
"Rape" is just a colorful word meaning to stroke another's instrument and touch it obsessively. I know some of you would really be wondering.

My friend actually did that.She got it on her shoulder,along with a quote from Rent.No Day But Today or something like that. If you think the treble clef thing is ultimate band geek,I'm actually getting a tattoo of the Madison Scouts' Fleur-De-Lis on my right arm come March.How cool is that?

You know you're a band nerd when you bring your saxophone to physics class so you can play into this little microphone and measure its sound waves on the computer.
........when you get excited because there is a problem in your math book that's about band.

When you're flipping through your Physics textbook and see pictures of musical instruments and then proceed to read that entire chapter, even if you haven't gotten to that yet.

~you believe, when you die, it will be in a band related accident
I've been thinking that too! What kind of band accident? I think my demise will be when I run into too many guard people during a show and become mutilated by their flags, rifles, sabers, etc. I think I'd prefer this to running with a trombone, falling down, and having it stab me in the heart.
